Control Your Acne

                                                             source

 Acne is something that every girl at some point in her life experiences. In rare cases though, some women have never had to deal with acne. If you are like me and get pimples and zits once in a while, then today is your lucky day because i am going to give tips on how to control your acne.
1.Eat well- I love groundnuts and magarine but too much of it is not good for your skin and can make you get acne. Also, try to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. You can start with really basic ones such as bananna and carrots.
2. Shower- It helps to reduce the amount of germs on your face and the rate at which you get infections..
3. Protect your skin with sunscreen- Some body lotions contain sunscreen but if yours doesn't, you can just get one at a cosmetic shop.
4. Don't pop, touch or scratch face- It just makes your acne worse.
5. Avoid washing your face more than 3 times daily- Although it sounds like a great way to reduce your zits and pimples, the turth is that it makes your acne worse and may cause a skin reaction.
6. Aloe Vera works- The Natural Aloe Vera Plant is great and continious application of the gel in it helps to have a clearer face.
7. Myths Myths Myths- Know the facts from the truth. It is not every advice that is correct and so you must try to distinguish the facts from the myths. For example, the fact that toothpaste can help with acne control is a myth and actually baseless.
8. Cheap low quality make-up- Using cheap low quality makeup can cause a rapid increase of acne on your face and the best solution in my opinion is to not use makeup at all. You can just stick to lip gloss and mascara if you want. I only use lip gloss and add light mascara on special ocassions.
9. Get an acne control cream- I try to give only natural tips on my blog so i suggest a natural acne control cream. If carefully selected, you will experience no side effects. If you do however, have a reaction, quit use and try another one. The most important thing is to contact a dermatologist for advice on selecting a good acne control cream. Don't just walk into any pharmacy and buy whatever is on sale.
10. Don't freak out- Acne is completely natural and even though it takes time for you to rid yourself of it, it will go away!

True Blue Spa

  source[order here]

Hiya, i thought i might review something i have had for a long time now. It is the true blue spa [paraffin] lotion. This hand lotion is a super softening one and smells like orange according to my dad. I don't have a good sense of smell and all i can tell is if it smells good or not but my dad *who has a cold* can tell exactly what smell it is. *Poor me* [haha]
Producers say: Paraffin locks in essential moisture to keep skin soft, smooth and super protected. But spa-savvy you already knew that, didn't you? The softening hand lotion also includes moisturizing Olive, Avocado and Apricot Oils plus antioxidant vitamin E.
Me, i love natural products and this one is all natural! And hey, i think they have a registed quote for this lotion[ Look ma, new hands]. or maybe not? I am sure of it.
To intensify the treatment of softening hands, you put on ultra conditioning gel gloves for twenty minutes or overnight. I have never tried it but it is a SPA SECRET of True Blue Spa.
Every day( or after washing off food or anything from you hands), you slather on a generous amount of this lotion for super soft hands. And because it is very small in size, you can send it anywhere, to church, to a school or even to a party. Plus, the colours of the packaging are so cute and girly. The dominating colour is pink with a touch of teal in the middle and all inscriptions are in white. The cover is also white.
This hand lotion is not to be tested on animals and has never been tested on animals. It is distributed for True Blue Spa by Bath & Body Works. Keep on doing your great work[True Blue Spa & Bath and Body Works]!
Address: 503 Broadway, New York, NY 10012
Have you ever tried it? It smells very good and i don't think it is very expensive although i didn't buy it and got it from my aunt. Hope you liked this review and be sure to share your thoughts through a comment.

JERGENS NATURAL GLOW

                                                 Source[Order @ source]
Hello girlies, how are we doing? Hope you are great. I am feeling a bit sleepy and i have done two posts today already but i want to publish this last one for the day.
There are a lot of moisturizers around and some are fake and don't work any magic at all. Some are great though and my favourites so far is Queen Elizabeth Cocoa Butter, EverSheen Cocoa Butter, and Pamela Cocoa Butter. I have tried all and the current lotion i am using is JERGENS NATURAL GLOW, made in USA and distributed by Kao Canada inc. It is almost finished and i am not sure if i will get some to buy but i wish i could because i love it!
My dad's friend(more like my uncle) brought it from Canada or UK(not exactly sure) for my dad. In my family, we share almost everything even though we argue a lot and sometimes don't want to share.
I love using new stuff and i am not afraid of trying something out. It was the packaging that first got my attention. It is gold and brown with black and white inscription[I have the one on the right side-the last but one]. Usually, i don't like brown but their shade is awesome. And guess what? It's natural.
It has no bad odour unlike some other toners. It smells really good and although i can't tell exactly what scent it is, i know it smells like perfume or a sweet flower. It is not very strong so sensitive people around you won't get affected by it or get any reactions.
Producers say: Jergens Natural GlowTM creates a colour that's gradual, flawless and captivating. You'll experience natural-looking colour that's streak-free, hassle-free and now has no sunless tanner odour.
This lotion is for external use only and if eye contact occurs, you rinse thoroughly with water. It must not be used on broken skin. Discontinue use if skin irritation or reaction occurs and since it does not contain sunscreen, you must apply one after using it. Otherwise, you would rather be exposed to quick skin-aging, skin cancer and other harmful effects even if you do not burn.
You must use it between 12 months after opening and use daily after opening. Wash hands after application and allow to dry. You see changes in colour after several days.
The only problem i have with Jergens Natural Glow is that it is not quite a lot in its bottle-like plastic containers and it is not being advertised that much in Africa. I hope i will get one to buy though. If you have any questions, visit www.jergens.ca for answers and help.

Hello dolls, i hope you are not offended by me calling you that. Dolls are pretty and so are you. :) Um.....we all want to feel and look pretty, at least i do. Everyone girl/woman is beautiful in her own way. Maybe you are not as gorgeous as the girl next door and just maybe you are really a plain old Jane but that doesn't make you inferior or ugly. Sometimes, i get called that and i don''t really reply anymore and i stare deep into the person's eyes. Such comments don't make me angry anymore. At first, it used to hurt a lot but i know i am pretty in my own little way and i just ignore bad comments. I say do the same because you here my young lady(or gentleman......like seriously you are a guy and reading this;are you that desperate) are very beautiful in your own little way! Now you may be thinking, yeah yeah yeah, i have heard that many times and i know it is true but i just need some new beauty tips to try out. Well.........i am going to help out. These are beauty secrets that people don't really value and some of them you may have heard before. Before i continue, cross your fingers and promise you won't spill any of the beauty secrets that i am letting out of my bag! :)
                                                                           #Tip 1

Beauty Sleep is important- Try to get 6-8 hours of sleep to reduce eye bags and to feel more refreshed and energetic.
                                                                         #Tip 2

Exercise- It could be jogging, a simple walk or an extreme train up. If you want to lose weight, i suggest going to the gym but you can try jogging for like 1-2 hours every morning. However, don't overwork yourself.
                                                                            #Tip 3

Brush Brush Brush- Brush your teeth twice daily for a healthy beautiful set of teeth. Does that rhyme? I guess. Me and my poor literary skills. :(
                                                                               #Tip 4

Aloe Vera Works-Aloe Vera works! I don't know what it does exactly because people say it doesn't help with pimples but all i know is that i tried it for three days in a row and it worked magic! Maybe you can try it. You can grow the natural one somewhere in your garden and in the morning, you pluck one, open it up, take the thick gel-like juice and gently rub on face. You leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then you wash it off. Do it for three-four days, pause for three-four days and then begin again. The number of days depends on you actually but make sure the number of days you do it is the same number of days you pause. And about that, i kinda broke that rule which is why i suddenly 5-7 zits/pimples or whatever they are again. Tomorrow....is Aloe vera time! :)
                                                                       #Tip 5

Shower twice daily- For fresh, young, healthy-looking skin. Make sure to shave too and shower hair frequently.
                                                                        #Tip 6

Now let's move to body lotion/butter- Apply daily after showering and towel drying for smooth shiny skin.You can get one with sunscreen or buy them both seperately. Try not to change your body cream too often.Also, use deodorant and perfume so you smell good!

#Tip 7

Avoid Excessive makeup- Try to actually avoid it. Using makeup when you are still an early teen makes you age quickly. Use makeup only on special occasions and even then, try to stick to lipstick/lipgloss and mascara. Concealer, eye shadow and foundation are not good for you. If you still want to use foundation, try powder. They do the same trick but powder is much healthier for your skin. On normal days, use a little lip gloss to brighten up your face.
#Tip 8

Keep hair and nails trimmed- Always make sure your hair and nails are very neat and trimmed.
#Tip 9

Get an acne control cream- Only when your acne is very serious. Some acne control creams have side effects so see your dermatologist first. If you acne is mild, stick to the natural tips such as the aloe vera face mask.(Tip 4)
#Tip 10

Perm hair once in a while to soften it. See a hair stylist/hair dresser for more information on it.
#Tip 11

Eat a balanced diet- I hate vegetables but i am starting to eat them now because i know they are good for me so make sure your diet is full of vegies and fruits!
#Tip 12

Avoid taking alcohol or doing drugs- Even models know this! The fact that you are 18+ doesn't mean you should compromise your health and beauty!
#Tip 13

Drink a lot of water- Take a lot of water so your body stays hydrated and for good blood circulation, etc(you know the scientific aspect right?)
#Tip 14

Cucumber, now that is one vegetable i am starting to like- I have never tried this before but everyone knows it. A slice of cucumber can help with eye bags. You put them on your eye lids, relax/lie down and leave it on for 10-15 minutes.
#Tip 15

Inner Beauty SHINES on the outside- Be nice, laugh, be happy and smile at the world!
